Packing

We are starting to lay out stuff for packing for the 2 week Sojourn to Spain, Portugal and France. We have become efficient packers. We take very few clothes and mix and match them. A weeks supply of underwear, four pants, five shirts, walking and dress shoes plus sandals. Dinner Jacket, sweater, rain jacket and tie..... and a few odds and ends.

We each have one suitcase and one overnighter. We can move fast. The only other thing to carry is the camera. I sometimes wonder when boarding ship. You see people with two large trunks for a ten day cruise. Some of that stuff will never be touched. I think it is used as a security blanket or maybe they are mobile hoarders.
